A middling effort

As per the norm, WZZM abandoned simplicity for a slick appearance more friendly to money-makings ads.
Open the app and youre greeted by an apocalyptic "14 weather alerts" in a thick red banner across the top. Holy crap, is the world coming to an end? No. Its just the same alert for 14 different counties. Does someone in Kent County really care that Calhoun County has the same frost advisory? And is that really two separate advisories?
On top of that, is a mid-October frost really worth the massive red warning box?
Thankfully, the "extended" forecast is now actually extended past the three days of the old app. The only problem is we now have to scroll past a giant ad to get there.
Also, navigating now requires two "touches" instead of one. To get to sorta, you used to simply touch sports. Now, you have to touch the menu drop down and then touch sports.
Slick, ad-friendly app. Too slick, not-as-user-friendly app.
